Abstract

The article deals with the possibility of identifying hereditary features of the geodynamic situation and elements of structural and material complexes involved in the geological development of the Caucasus, in deep geoelectric and seismological sections to create geological and geophysical models of the earth’s crust along the regional profiles. Modern structural-tectonic and structural-material complexes of the Eastern part of the Central Caucasus are interpolated with the main structures of the consolidated crust and the lower crust. The scientific and practical interest of correlation linking of deep crustal and mantle structures with deposits of solid minerals and hydrocarbons, the role of the boundary of Mokhorovichych in the localization of deposits is substantiated. Latitudinal structure of the relic scar (geostructure), confidently allocated to the minimum of the tension of magnetic field full vector on structural-material elements (olistostromes, ophiolites, mixtite) persuasive inherited character of subduction. Relict scar is represented by tectonized terrigenous material containing different size blocks and blocks of volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks and remobilized olistostromes of rocks of the ophiolite complex, which is a formative sign of geodynamic situation, recorded in the development of the structure of the Caucasus.
